I had an absolute blast being part of the Horology Forum hosted by Dubai Watch Week in New York City this past weekend. Dubai Watch Week has the mission: "To provide an educational platform for the purpose of sharing knowledge, building connections and celebrating watchmaking." Hind Abdul Hamied Seddiqi stated, "Our goal is to create an educational, experiential, and networking event like no other." To that end, the Horology Forum featured a series of interesting panels as well as workshops in order to bring the watch community together. People came to the Forum from all over the United States and the world, and the weekend flew by way too quickly!

We would like to thank Hind Abdul Hamied Seddiqi, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Shruti Dileep, Dom, and Sugam for inviting me and organizing such an awesome event and Gigantem NYC and Fernanda Zapata for their work assisting. I participated in a "Made in America" panel and am grateful for the awesome moderation by Cara Barrett and to my fellow panelists Aldis Hodge and Brandon Little for their comments. The recording of the panel can be watched below (or by following the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4I8Z4IlgJo) .
